WAY TO START THE YEAR CROWLEY ISD!

Well teachers we are back at work and lots of celebrations... and yes areas to be proud of around your school.

But let's catch you up on the news-

Scores came out and the district brought out the propaganda machine to display how much the district has exceeded standards and Powell downplayed it as not getting too caught up in the system that we have, basically saying.. we take credit for the good and but blame the system for the bad.

Did you see all the results?  Well your boss probably shared it and results are blah!  A few schools that keep performing- take a look, you may need to click on the picture to make it bigger.

So we have two schools not meet standard and a few that would have been on the list but remember the state only counted index 1 or index 2.  So in reality you would have 6 schools not meeting standard but you won't hear that anywhere in the communication.  Come on now- we know Reading is down, if you look at Index 1 which is how many kids are passing STAAR,  it is not very positive.  The district is happy with just passing the minimum that they celebrate it.  

But what do we see here, Bess Race Elementary did not meet standard and why not promote the principal.  Yes the Principal got promoted early on to central office but of course she is close friends with Lovette so it doesn't matter.  Remember you are safe as long as he is ok with you.  

This is the spin machine!!!

Then we hear from a parent that the district did something illegal, which is nothing new.  A parent went to register a student and the parent was denied because the child did not have a social security number.  Well you would think with the change of demographics that they would know it is not required.  Denying a child entrance is against the law.  But of course Crowley does not like "these" kids, minority, so they push it where they can.  This is coming from a district that had to be told to print items in different languages and even with the promotion of the Choice Schools the committees were still not wanting to do it in other languages.  So again just like SPED, Discipline, etc.  The district wants to remain the way it has always been, toxic and incestuous.

Wait they have Mia Hall who is now Equity Director and should know how to instruct the district to not discriminate.  You would hope but then she is not so straight forward herself.  

Have a great start teachers and let us know how we can serve as your voice here at the CIA.  We appreciate comments we have received and information from people on the ground.
